Online Clash: Wizkid, Davido’s War Of Words Continues
The online feud between musical icons Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, and David Adedeji, also known as Davido, escalated on Monday night.
Wizkid threw shade at Davido by posting a leaked video of him allegedly pleading with a female associate, in response to a fan’s request for new music.
Additionally, Wizkid dismissed the Grammy award-winning singer Don Jazzy as merely an ‘influencer’.
This sparked controversy on social media, with many speculating about the underlying issues between the two artists.
On Monday night, Davido countered the digital jabs thrown by Wizkid with a barrage of cryptic tweets, seemingly aimed at the “Ojuelegba” hitmaker.
In one tweet, Davido quipped, “Dem no know your Gbedu,” presumably directed at Wizkid, who had previously announced plans to release his highly anticipated “Morayo” album in May.
Undeterred, the “Aiye” singer continued with another tweet stating, “When light comes, darkness vanishes. Let’s get active,” further fueling speculation about the ongoing rivalry between the two musical heavyweights.
Adding to the mix, Davido shared a video featuring his wife, Chioma Adeleke, accompanied by the caption, “They were trying to distract us, baby no mind dem.”
In retaliation, Wizkid began with a scathing tweet, ridiculing Davido and his entourage, including his alleged songwriter, and dismissing their musical achievements.
He wrote “U and all ur crew plus ur pant washer songwriter go to sleep at night thinking you got anything on me in music 🤣😂 wish u all well ✌️”
He followed it up with another tweet, “U know what..no point. delusional niggas 😇 pray for y’all.”
Davido swiftly responded, denying any delusion and accusing Wizkid of being “sick.”
He wrote “WE NOT DELUSIONAL YOU’RE A SICK MAN. ”
Despite their recent friendly encounter, the tension between the two superstars escalated further when the “Jaiye Jaiye” crooner, Wizkid, fearlessly reposted the tweet along with the same leaked video of Davido.
This rift comes as a surprise to many, especially considering their recent public display of camaraderie when they were spotted embracing in a Lagos nightclub.
Prior to this reconciliation, Wizkid had even announced plans for a joint tour with his rival back in 2023.
Taking to his Instagram story, he revealed that the tour would follow the release of his fifth studio album, ‘More Love, Less Ego (MLLE)’, which debuted in mid-2023.
He wrote “After my MLLE tour!! Davido and I going on tour! save your coins! I no wan hear him.”
While celebrated as Nigeria’s top musical exports, Wizkid and Davido’s relationship has frequently been marked by frostiness and discord.
Nigerian music icon Davido has once again highlighted the vital role entertainment plays in shaping Africa’s image on the global stage.
Speaking candidly, the award-winning artist acknowledged the continent’s leadership challenges but praised the entertainment industry for its positive contributions.
“Entertainment is one of the things that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” Davido stated, addressing an issue many Africans are familiar with.

His comment reflects widespread frustration with governance while celebrating the power of culture and creativity to redefine narratives.
As one of Africa’s most prominent entertainers, Davido’s words carry weight in both artistic and socio-political circles. The continent’s music, film, and fashion industries have gained international acclaim in recent years, with stars like him driving global attention to African talent.
Davido’s remarks not only underscore the transformative role of entertainment but also invite reflection on how leadership can complement these efforts in creating a brighter future for Africa.
In a recent interview with Egungun of Lagos, Blessing CEO, a self-proclaimed relationship and mentorship expert, opened up about her inspiring journey to financial freedom through content creation.
Blessing revealed she earns nearly $40,000 monthly, attributing her success to a unique blend of authenticity, strategic planning, and consistency.
“People are drawn to relatable content,” she explained. “I share real-life experiences and practical advice, which has helped me build a loyal audience.”

Her ability to connect with her audience has not only brought financial success but also solidified her status as a trusted mentor.
As a mentor, Blessing also highlighted the importance of personal branding and networking, she said. “There’s lot of money in content creation, Your story is your power.”
Her journey is a testament to how leveraging digital platforms can create a thriving business and change financial status.
